Aw, sweet homage to Toby! My town name is for my wiener dog (TubeeLuLu)! I did the same thing with shrubs for rock banging LOL Works great!Ty! I'm about to spend some time moving some of PWP's around - the fountain in the SW corner and the bamboo zen area in the SE corner are going to get flipped. I think it'll work better that way. The memorial to Tobby was for my IRL kitty who passed away. I figured Animal Crossing was a good place for her memory to live on. It was one of the first patterns I made and I'm actually pretty proud of the shading. It took forever! (A graphic artist I'm not.) But yeah, my rocks and ponds aren't in great places and my shrubbery developed because I got sick of digging holes to brace myself when banging rocks. Planting bushes to anchor me actually started my pathways and landscaping.
Haha, thank you! Hmmm chocolate indeed!All good points, but (LOL) I think Campy has a "perfect" Town ... Cadbury! ... mmmmm chocolate! Luv your paths!! This is a beautiful creative town and lots of fun to dream!

I wanted to dream your town, but couldn't find your DC .. I am sure it is lovely! I do really like the name you chose, and Mayor Sweety! What could be nicer!? ♥ ♥ ♥So I was lurking last night and came upon a thread that had a section of their post talking about perfect town layouts. I thought everyone just went with what maps they were given, so this is news to me. I googled what makes a town layout the best and did my research, so I think I've gotten the gist of it.
What I learned makes a good town is:
- Number of rocks and their placement
- Vertical ramp
- Re-Tail being close to the beach
- Town hall placement
- Centralized plaza
- Train station + town hall colours
- Shape of grass
- 1-2 ponds
- How much space the river takes up and if it goes north to south
- South facing waterfall
- Eastern or western beach
- What native fruit you want
I didn't know these were things. If there's more feel free to let me know.
:c All of this makes me want to reset so badly and get a better town. I have 9 rocks (in annoying places), 3 ponds, horizontal ramp, Re-Tail placement near train station, brown colour town hall + train station, and east facing waterfall. Now I feel like my town is really ugly and it's bugging me. I know it's all personal preference but I just went with what I was given and right now I'm not liking what I went with.
I really like Poliwag0's map but I agree about the split beach ... The Realm is pretty much identical to my town layout except town square. My paths are different though.I don't like the split beach - makes it harder to fish. It's nice that there's only one pond but it sucks that it's right between retail & town hall. I also don't like that retail is so far away from the beach - makes it inconvenient for selling fish & beetles from the island.
I guess it just goes to show that not everyone agrees on what makes a good map. It's all a matter of preference!
I guess I'm kind of obsessing over it because I wanted to have a beautiful town and dream town that I could present to people.
